Letters Patent N 96,604, dated November 9, 1869.

IMPROVEMEN '1' IN CHURNS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it knownvthat I, G. J. MILLER, Jr., of Richmond, in the county of Madison, and State of Kentuclty, have 'invented a new and improved Churn and I do hereby declare thatthe following is a full, clear, and exact dcsciiption thereof, which will enable others skilled in the artto make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying (hawings forming part of this specification, in which- I Figure-1 represents a side view, partly in section, of my improved churn.

Figure 2 is a plan or top view, partlyin section, of the same.

1 Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

This invention relates to a new churn, which is so constructed that it will serve to produce butter with great rapidity and without loss of cream.

The invention consists in the use of a fluted churn, and in the combination of the same with a peculiar doublc-wingcd dasher.

A, in the drawing, represents the churn. it is an upright vessel, made of sheet-metal or other suitable material, of fluted form, as in fig. 2, so that where the rounded sections are formed, inward-projecting edges will be produced within the churn, to form larger sur- B is the dasher-shaft. It is placed vertically into the churn, resting on a step, a, in the same, and is provided with a bevel-pinion, b, or its equivalent, to receive rotary motion.

- On the lower part of the dasher-rod are fastened two or more wings, O O. t

On the upper part of the flasher-rod is a loose sleeve, D, carrying wings I) E, and a pinion, c.

The pinions b 0 mesh into the same whee], F, on opposite sides of its shaft G, and are therefore rcvolvcd in opposite directions, so that consequently the wings O and E will also be turned in contrary direct'ions. The cream in the churn is thereby greatly agitatedand butter rapidly produced The-form of churn ,also aids considerably in the rapid'production of the butter.

Having thus described my invention,

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patentv The fluted churn, in combination with the doublewinged dasher, whose wings revolve in contrary directions, substantially as herein shown and described.
